6/11 GDT Champs @ Bucs

Because if we are to be sellers, then we are forsaking this year to build for the future. If another team is willing to overpay for Scoots or Pagan, then we should consider the offer. One could argue that they may be at or just past their primes, and might fetch a high price to a team desperate for their services. THink of the Wheeler for Beltran deal in reverse.

Or better, as someone else pointed out earlier, remember the Angels-DBacks deal where the Snakes got Corbin, Skaggs, Saunders, and RafRod for Dan Haren. I'd be all for a deal like that if I was Sabes.

Bastage! Fargin' Ice Hole!

That is hysterical. I've never seen that before. Someone should get up in front of our Senate today and do that. Very topical.

Johnny Dangerously is a great movie. You'll enjoy it, especially if you like the similarities of old mob movies.

I saw that movie once...

ONCE!

Completely off topic, but...

You ever see a word, and suddenly realize it just looks weird? "Once" just doesn't look right...

Maybe because it means "eleven" in Spanish?

IMHO this is much more complicated than it appears to be. I believe there are two types of buyers. Those that are locks for the playoffs and are trying to get that one last piece that may take them all the way. Then there are those that are just trying to get to the dance. As of now I don't think we will have anything locked come July. It will depend on where we are in the wildcard standings at the moment in time. Injuries, SP and our defense haven't been very good to us this year. This team can still play like crap but if we sneak into the playoffs or can purchase (July) our way into the playoffs then it's a whole new ballgame. Every team out there still has to be leery of facing our starting rotation in a do or die situation. Twice last year we were counted down and out and beat the odds. This team does have the potential. The real question is .... will they get the opportunity?

I don't think that we would clean house in July no matter what the situation is. I just don't see a WS Champion doing that. They just don't throw in the towel. But, if at the end of the season we do not make the playoffs ..... I believe there will be some significant turnover in personnel ....
